One of the most advanced private companies in humanoid robots has just launched their latest artificial intelligence model. And it might be one of their largest breakthroughs yet.
What’s happening:
- Figure has officially launched their new artificial intelligence model for humanoid robots known as Helix 02
Why it matters:
- Figure AI’s Helix 02 has validated that a single neutral network can control an entire humanoid robot through walking, balancing and carrying objects
Going deeper:
- Helix 02 connects every single sensor in a humanoid robot directly to its joints through a single unified neural network which enables smooth and coordinated body motion and adaptive behaviour
- Figure has also publicly stated that integrating their new Helix 02 model with their latest humanoid robotics hardware enables robots to be able to performance complex physical manipulations such as handling prescription pills, dispensing precise syringe volumes and other tasks that require tactile sensing capabilities
The intrigue:
- Figure was able to successfully use Helix 02 in their most advanced humanoid robot to unload a dishwasher in roughly four minutes without any human assistance
